The I-FLOW 16K Gate Valve is engineered to meet the demands of high-pressure applications, providing reliable shutoff and enhanced flow control across various industries, including marine, oil and gas, and industrial processing. Rated to handle pressures up to 16K, this gate valve ensures stable and secure operation in challenging environments where durability and leak-proof performance are essential.
What is a 16K Gate Valve
A 16K Gate Valve is a heavy-duty valve specifically rated for high-pressure applications. “16K” indicates a pressure rating of 16 kg/cm² (or roughly 225 psi), making it suitable for applications that require handling high-pressure media. This type of gate valve is often utilized in systems that need precise flow control with minimal pressure drop when fully open.
How Does a 16K Gate Valve Work
The 16K gate valve operates with a flat or wedge-shaped gate that moves perpendicular to the flow direction to open or close the passage. When the valve is open, the gate retracts fully from the flow path, allowing unobstructed flow and reducing pressure loss. When closed, the gate seals tightly against the valve seat, effectively stopping the media flow and preventing leaks.
Key Features of I-FLOW 16K Gate Valve
High-Pressure Rating: Engineered for high-pressure systems, the 16K gate valve can handle pressures up to 16 kg/cm², ensuring dependable performance in critical applications.
Durable Construction: Crafted from high-grade materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or ductile iron, the valve resists wear, corrosion, and deformation under heavy-duty conditions.
Non-Rising Stem Option: Available in a non-rising stem design for compact installations or underground applications where vertical space is limited.
Corrosion-Resistant Coating: With an epoxy coating or other protective finish, the valve is protected against corrosion, ideal for seawater, wastewater, or chemically aggressive environments.
Advantages of I-FLOW 16K Gate Valve
Reliable Shutoff: The gate valve design ensures a complete, tight shutoff, preventing backflow and maintaining system integrity.
Minimal Pressure Loss: When fully open, the valve allows free passage of the media, resulting in low pressure drop and improved flow efficiency.
Versatile Application: Suitable for a range of media, including water, oil, gas, and chemical substances, making it adaptable for diverse industries.
Low Maintenance: The sturdy design and high-quality materials reduce wear and maintenance needs, contributing to long-term performance and reduced operational costs.
